As the result of thereport of Expert H. J. Waters showing that during the ad- ministration of former Sheriff Peter Cur< tis several thousand dollars was paid to | contractors for goods which were never delivered to the City and County Jails, as | told_exclusively in The Call yesterday | morning, the Grand Jury yesterday adopt- ed .a resolution directing City Attorney William G. Burke to bring suit at once against all persons and firms who appear to have defrauded the city and county of | San Francisco. This action on the part of the Grand Jury is the result of a six weeks’ investi- gation of the books kept during the .ad- ministrations of Sheriffs Lackmann, Cur- tis and O'Neil. The report of Expert Waters has been given to City Attorney Burke. He will de- cide against whom the sults will be brought. J. A. Snoek & Co., who fur- | nished about 80 per cent of the supplies purchased -by Sheriff Curtis, will prob- ably, say several members 0f the Grand | Jury, be made defendants in a civil suit for the recovery of several thousand dol- lars. Other small firms may also be made defendants. Former Bheriff Curtis, say these same jurymen, is also likely to be haled into court by civil process and made to explain the sceming waste and queer expenditures shown ~in ‘Expert Waters' report.. No criminal indictments | will be brought. Expert Waters says freely that he has found expenditures for goods never deliv- ered to the City and County Jafls. In some cases, he says, expenditures were | made tor one article and other goods de- lvered. | “I find,” ‘he. said. ymetdny afternoon, “that during Sheriff Curtis’ administra- tion the prisonérs were given less provi- sions and provisions of a poorer quality than during Shegiff Lackmann’s term, and at the same time the officers were given a great deal more."” For instance, comparing the correspond- ing six months of the two administra- tions, Expert Waters finds that Curtis used less bread and flour for the prison- ers than did Lackmann. The books show that for the officers Lackmann used no castile soa), Curtis 1065 pounds; mann 314 pounds of tea, Curtis 1205; Lack- mann 42 blankets, Curtis 283; Lackmann | no sponges, Curtis 78 pounds; Lackmann no sapélio, Curtis 240 dozen; and so on through several pages o figures. This shows, says Waters, that the expendi- tures were not bona fide. The Grand Jury reported verbally to Judge GrAham. It will be discharged on | March 29. | The Grand Jury seems to have made no inquiry as to how Snook & Co. could sup- ply the City and County Hospital and the Almshouseé with goods up to specifications at the ruinous prices named in the con- tracts. Many of these contracts are the same as those entered into for supplying the jailg, and if the jails were given bad goods that a profit might be made it looks |as if the other institutions must have | been similarly treated. Snook & Co.’s con- tracts for the present fiscal year are still in force, and the prices, so merchants | say, are too low to permit of profit if the Hospital, Almshouse and jails get what is contracted for. e SO S DR.

Mau of 230 Montgomery street and William L. Mulr yesterday filed a petition with the Board of Works for .permission to excavate a tunnel under the Bay of San Francisco to connect this city with the county of Alaméda and extending through and undef Rihcon Hill. The tunnel is to begin on the line of Townsend street on a level with the railroad track, de- scendihg on a three per cent grade 2400 feet more or less along and under Second street to a point 129 feet below the level of Harrison street, thence at right angles 2500 feet more or less to a point on the west shore at the foot of Harrison street, 150 feet below high water mark, thence northeast 5400 feet more or less, at which point the tunnel would be about 105 feet below the level of the deepest part of the bay, thence on the same course 8800 feet ona level, thence on a two per cent ascending gradg to’the easterly boundary of the city. The petitioners also ask the right to the use of lands belonging to the:city lying west of the easterly boundary thereof; also to construct and operate in the tunnel a double track standard gauge electric rallway and above the railway and on the upper half of the tunnel a roadway for wagons and foot passengers and to discharge dt Bran- nan street; also for the right to convey water by means of pipes along and through the tunnel and to convey mail matter by means of automatic tubes. »The petition was referred to the City Engineer, who pronounced the pro- posed tunnel not feasible. ‘Willlam Mau, author of this am- bitious project, is a Montgonmiery-street real estate man. He sald last night that competent engineers had pro- nounced the scheme feasible. Henry Miller, a well-known local engineer, has spent years on similar plans for tunneling the bay. Mr. Mau says he does not expect that work on the tun- nel will commence soon, as the plans are entirely in an incipient state. The tun- nel, as it exists in the brains of the promoters, would provide for the transmission of power and furnish a highway between San Francisco and Oakland. i — e PEDDLER THROWN FROM A WAGON.— Joe Satarrerno, a peddler residing at 518 Fill- more street, was thrown from his wagon on Noe street near Eighteenth yesterday and re- cefved several slight injuries.

A TRAINED NURSE After Years of Experience, Advises Women in Regard to Their Health. Mrs, Martha Pohlman of 55 Chester Avenue, Newark, N.

She has the advantage of petsonal experience, besides her professional education, and what she has to sa; may be absolutely reliez upon. Many other women are afflicted as she was.
